Targa Florio have a very rare VW XL1 hybrid for sale. It will certainly stand out in the crowd and may even prove a good investment.

Boxing clubs should do well when punch ups over who is entitled to use the only serviceable CP first become commonplace. :twisted:

Re: Italy trip report

If you don't want to stay in the centre of Baden Baden I can recommend a really good hotel set in idyllic surroundings 4 miles south of the town. It has been refurbished recently to a very high standards, with ample safe parking. The staff are very friendly and go ut of their way to make guests feel...

Interesting shots of Clovelly. My In-Laws used to live near-by. These photos were taken almost[ 50 years ago, not a lot has changed!

Re: Fuel consumption

That is very impressive, I asked because the volume of traffic seems to have a big effect on MPG. Last month I achieved this on a run from Baden Baden to Ingolstadt with very few hold ups. Not bad for a 520 bhp V8.

Re: Getting rid of 'privacy' glass

I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I can't understand the current fashion for side window privacy glass. It completely spoils the appearance of cars that designers have spent so much time creating and, as far as I can see, has little or no practical purpose. In an SUV, particularly...
